Popular Nigerian entertainer, Toyin Abraham, has narrated her experience with depression.
The Nigerian actress popularly known as Mummy Ire shared her ordeal during her recent interview with Media Personality, Chude Jideonwo.
We recall that the actress took to her Instagram page recently to reflect on those “very dark times” in her life, where she almost gave up her fame and career because of what she was going through.
In her recent interview, the screen goddess explained the importance of mental health while speaking concerning her experiences.
Narrating her ordeal, Toyin said, “It was not easy. My manager had to get a counselor from America to talk to me. I knew I needed therapy, but sometimes you like to yourself even when you know that you need something.
I lived in denial, but I knew I was depressed. I would often sit down and be sad for no reason. I would get scared even when people were around me. I would get scared when people called me for something good.
I was not happy, and I lost weight even though I was well fed. I was very skinny. I would cry to my manager on the phone as I was always sad. I was depressed. The event happened within the past three years.”
